Recovery Support That Fits Your Life

Heartwood Recovery’s Outpatient Program (OP) provides ongoing addiction treatment for men who need continued clinical support while managing work, school, or family responsibilities. Our OP serves men in stable early recovery who have established a foundation of sobriety and are ready to practice their recovery skills while living independently in the community.

Based at our South Austin facility, our outpatient program combines weekly group therapy, individual counseling, relapse prevention planning, family support, and 12-Step immersion to help men maintain momentum in recovery while reintegrating into daily life. Whether you’re stepping down from PHP or IOP, or seeking ongoing support to strengthen your sobriety, our outpatient program delivers the clinical connection and accountability necessary for long-term success.

Outpatient Program (OP)

Who OP Is For

Our Outpatient Program serves men who are in stable early recovery and need ongoing clinical support without full-day programming.

Returning to Work or School

Men who are employed, in school, or have other daytime responsibilities benefit from OP’s flexible schedule that allows them to maintain these commitments while staying connected to treatment.

Stepping Down from PHP

After completing PHP, many clients transition to OP for continued support as they increase independence and reintegrate into daily life.

Stable Early Recovery

Men who have completed residential or PHP treatment elsewhere and need ongoing accountability and clinical connection in Austin.

What OP Includes

Weekly Groups

Regular group therapy sessions focused on maintaining recovery, preventing relapse, and addressing ongoing challenges. Groups provide continued peer connection and accountability.

Individual Therapy

Ongoing individual therapy sessions to address emerging issues, refine coping strategies, and maintain recovery momentum. Session frequency is determined based on individual needs.

Relapse Prevention Planning

 Intensive focus on identifying triggers, developing response strategies, and creating concrete plans for maintaining sobriety long-term. Clients build detailed relapse prevention toolkits they can use independently.

Continued 12-Step Integration

Support for ongoing 12-Step involvement including step work, sponsorship relationships, and connection to local recovery communities.

Family Support

Family therapy sessions as needed to maintain healthy relationships and address any family system issues that arise during extended recovery.

Benefits of Outpatient Treatment

Structure + Flexibility

Outpatient programs provide the clinical structure necessary for recovery success while allowing flexibility to maintain work, school, family responsibilities, and other aspects of daily life. This balance helps men apply recovery tools in real-world situations.

Accountability

Regular clinical contact, group attendance, and drug testing create accountability that supports sobriety. Men stay connected to their treatment team and peers even as they increase independence.

Clinical Depth

Both PHP and OP at Heartwood Recovery offer more clinical support than standard outpatient programs. Our commitment to individualized care, trauma-informed treatment, and comprehensive services ensures men receive the depth of support necessary for lasting change.

Male-Specific Community

Gender-specific programming creates space for authentic connection and vulnerability. Men work through issues specific to male experiences and build brotherhood with others who understand their journey.

Connection to Austin Recovery

Our outpatient programs integrate clients into Austin's robust recovery community through regular attendance at local meetings, connection with sponsors, and involvement with our alumni network. These relationships extend far beyond the treatment program.

Insurance Accepted

We also work with out-of-network benefits when clients have coverage and can pay their out-of-pocket costs. Our admissions team will verify your insurance and explain your options during the initial consultation.

Begin Your Outpatient Journey

If you need intensive treatment while maintaining certain responsibilities, or if you’re looking for continued support after residential treatment, our outpatient programs provide the structure and clinical depth necessary for recovery success.
Our staff-to-client ratio at Heartwood Recovery is intentional and allows us to provide a truly individualized approach for each client. While the schedule may be consistent, your treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs.
